Lyrics:

[Verse]

What did you do? What did you say?

Did you walk - or did you run away?

Where are you now? Where have you been?

Did you go alone - or did you bring a friend?



[Hook #1]

I need to know this - cause I notice when you're smilin'

Out in the sun havin' fun and you're feelin' free

And I can tell you know how hard this life can be

But you keep on smilin' for me



[Verse]

What went right? What went wrong?

Was it the story - or was it the song?

Was it overnight - or did it take you long?

Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?



[Hook #2]

Or all the above - oh how I love to see you smilin'

And oh yeah - take a little pain just in case

You need something warm to embrace

To help you put on a smilin' face

Hey, put on a smilin' face



[Bridge]

Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt

Here's a summary of somethin' that you could smile about:

Say for instance, my girlfriend she bugs me all the time

But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time



[Hook #3]

I want to be you - whenever I see you smilin'

Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do

Your worries and fears become your friends

And they end up smilin' at you

Put on a smilin' face
